took advantage of an easier grade after 2 months off to gain a first win on turf since his debut, needing to run right up to his best to prevail; in touch, travelled well, chased leaders 3f out, led under 2f out, headed briefly 1f out, kept on final 1f, ridden out; he should continue to be competitive, at this trip or a bit further.

ran well, so it seems a bit harsh to fault him, but he came to win the race and faltered when it came to the crunch, perhaps getting there too soon but certainly outbattled by the winner; held up, travelled well, good headway over 2f out, looked likely winner when led briefly over 1f out, edged right and worried out of it.

Salisbury's most prestigious race of the whole year, this renewal featuring the first double-figure field in a decade, little between the majority of a smart line-up on their best form, and although half the field weren't at their best, the others ran their race and give the form a solid look. MEGALLAN took advantage of an easier grade after 2 months off to gain a first win on turf since his debut, needing to run right up to his best to prevail; in touch, travelled well, chased leaders 3f out, led under 2f out, headed briefly 1f out, kept on final 1f, ridden out; he should continue to be competitive, at this trip or a bit further.
